It’s difficult to imagine a Hollywood production allowing an Asian star to be as commanding as Wong is in Piccadilly.

A swinging London club; the breakup of a famous performing couple; a well-known dancer being replaced by one younger and more exotic; a murder. All juicy fodder for plot, and it's a good thing.

[Wong's] role of Shosho, the red-hot dancing star of London's Piccadilly nightclub, shows her at her dramatic and erotic peak.

Wong is the kind of gorgeous that burns right through a camera lens, and the kind of mesmerizing that seems without effort or end.

[Wong] is not top billed, but her entrance in Piccadilly -- and her general presence -- make her the star.

Wong has acquired a loyal cult following over the years, and Dupont's exquisitely filmed episodes show why.
